i was there, and yes it was fucking amazing. thanks for keeping track of the setlist!

i bought a poster, which is fucking sweeeet, too bad some belligerant drunk being escorted out crashed into me and squashed it but i did notice they were sold out by the end of the show, so im glad i bought one in the beginning.

the sprawl/cross the breeze was beautiful, perfect way to close out the show

A truly great night. I would have preferred to hear Death Valley '69 or Expressway over Sprawl and Cross the Breeze, but I shouldn't complain, it was an awesome show. I agree that Lee was in particular really on it tonight. Hey Joni was great. Does anyone know if this was taped? I'd sure love to get a copy if possible.

favorite part? There were definatley some stand out moments, like when Thurston shoved his guitar in that guys face, or during the last encore when Lee was rocking out, I also liked how Thurston was so interactive with the crowd. Giving that one guy a high five and dedicating anti orgasm to someone who yelled I love you!
the only drag was the opening band. I felt like they were under prepared. I felt kinda bad for them checking the clock and deciding what to play next to fill in the time.

There are at least two, probably more, AUDs from the Oakland show. Stay tuned for announcements (at least one will be on DIME soon).

I haven't seen any audio recordings show up for the Salt Lake City 7/30 show yet but some guy posted video of the entire thing to youtube. The audio is horrible though (search for Sonic Youth Gallivan Center if you want to see it).

If I could find a good or even ok audio recording I would try to get a hold of the guy and get his video master to create a dvd. The video is pretty good as far as fan video goes.

Did you have a favorite part or high light?

World Looks Red was really cool. That screwdriver jammed in Lee's frets was awesome. I didn't expect them to play that. Brother James at the end was great. The false start before Leaky Lifeboat was funny.

Also, did you notice they played Providence right before Massage that History?
